Circus

Crimson thrones and golden cloaks
Circling the sawdust
Pageantry and old tradition
Brought to you in August

Watch the multi-coloured juggler
Whirl the clubs like lightening
Elephants are full of peace
And all the lions are frightening
All the lions are frightening
All the lions are frightening
All the lions are frightening
All the lions are frightening

My Lords, Ladies and midgets
We 'ave for your entertainment and titillation
The one, the only, Co-Co the smith

Oh yes I can
Oh no you can't
Oh yes I can
Oh no you can't
Oh yes I can
Oh no you can't
Oh yes I can

C'mon Jumbo you're late!
Oh bum, what a drag

Have I really got, to dance again
Must I really stand on this ball
Once upon a time I had dignity
Humans really make me feel small

But the children all love the Elephant
Things to tell I nod then
Everything would really be excellent
If I didn't have to dance again

Would you like to fly like a bird in the sky
To and fro, the trapeze is ever so high
Would you like to fly
Well so would I

Time to go, it's the end of the show, for another year
Time to leave, it's the end and the evenings disappeared
Time to go (time to go)
Time to go (time to go)
Time to go (time to go)
Time to....
